The landslide was reported Thursday afternoon behind homes in the 5900 block of Wyman Street and the 5900 block of Hillcrest Road, he said.

Three homes on Hillcrest Road and Wyman Street have been yellow tagged, meaning they can only be accessed on a limited basis during the day. At least two people and no more than three are allowed in the homes at one time. No one can spend the night inside, he said.

They were tagged due to the danger of fallen trees and mud intrusion, according to city officials.

It's raining less today in San Pablo, which has inspectors and city officials hopeful.

"Any let up in the rain is welcome. That is the issue right now - the soil needs to dry out and stop advancing down the hill," Worthy said.
